Subject: Strange discovery in your prose
Open your eyes. Everything you think and write
and plan and hope and dream, is a map to your secret inside needs and hopes.
Just look, and you shall see.
You are a born open warm person, that got
somehow seared in fear shut as a wound is cauterized with a hot blade surface.
Now you are grown up,
you can open up, flower, and favor us all with
your experience, knowledge, and caring.

John,
Don't forget, big boys buoy themselves up!!!!
Nice
we don't live in Chilie, where earthquake survivors on CNN report dealing with
the 4 types of earthquake waves, P, S, and up and down and
back
and forth surface waves. Expert opinion suggests less deaths than in Hait,
because Chile had better building codes and
better
and stronger built buildings than did Haiti. Working on clearing out my house,
a year long struggle. Better
now
than later. I had tree cutting guy give me a cheaper estimate for just cutting
off three large limbs from
pine
tree, and I gave him a box of books I hadn't yet read, history, autobiography
of Bill Clinton, CS Lewis,
history of river Yangzse in China, etc. Office gal said he liked history
and religion. Today is talk walk indoors. We are having sporadic rain for next
several days. Plants yelping with delight.

Re reading your article, Advising in the
Trenches,
I note you realize that any new task
transforms you,
that you hold influence over others ( your
readers)
and your bosses respect and help you (your
publishers)
and you have that human touch which will make
your
successful as a writer and friend. When I used
to take
the girls to restaurants, I could always
identify
those waiters or waitresses who were doing
their
day jobs to support themselves, while they
continued their movie , tv, or stage careers. They were real and
personable, warm and open, not just acting out
a
service person script. Being open and real
identifies one
even over a horizon......
George
